When I have to destroy nests or weed in these nests areas', I always do so 
at first light of a chilly AM.  I also collect wind-fall fruit in early AM.

I avoid having to mess w/ the nests-- just avoid them if you can, and 
possibly even put some flagging tape around the area to warn others.

Here (s.WI) this summer the honeybees and small yellow-jackets and the 
larger mostly black wasps are all very cranky, and I've discovered that when 
I wear mosquito repellant (specificly 'Deep Woods Off') they are less likely 
to buzz me.  The longer/larger slower-moving yellow jackets are as tame as 
ever, also the various bumblebees.

Is it in the ground or is it a "paper" structure hanging from a support?

Whatever you do is best done at dusk or at night when all the insects
have come home and are in the nest...
